Summary: Removal of mo language codes
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: toni...@softcatala.org
After recent ISO-639-1/2 changes
(http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php), 'mo' language code
becomes deprecated, and Moldavian or Moldovan become alternate names for
Romanian (ro).
Therefore, this code should be removed from Mediawiki files such as:
http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/languages/Names.php?view=markup
This also affects Wikimedia resources such as mo.wikipedia.org, which uses a
non-existing code and, IMHO, I think this has little sense to exist as official
project in Wikimedia. Actually this has also received little activity for
months.
In contrast to other languages such as Serbian, Romanian using Cyrillic script
is not a contemplated option and only Latin script should prevail.
